Connection to Interstate Highway System
I'm not sure what's meant by the second paragraph of the 1962–2000: Expansion section:

"The Rio Grande discontinued passenger train service to Aspen in 1969. It was soon replaced the next year, when the completion of Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon connected the western terminus of Highway 82 to the larger Interstate Highway System."

The "next year" of 1970 doesn't seem to correspond to any of the relevant milestones in the I-70 corridor:


 * The two-lane precursor U.S. Routes 6 and 24 were completed in the late 1930s
 * The extension of I-70 west from Denver to Fort Cove, Utah, was authorized in the late 1950s
 * Construction of four-lane I-70 between Glenwood Springs and the No Name Tunnels was completed in 1965, and presumably included an interchange with SH 82
 * The tiered four-lane I-70 through Glenwood Canyon opened to traffic in October 1992

Can someone else clarify?

 * I think was what the cited source said. I can't check it right now as I'm in Canada and the Google Books page is redirected to the .ca version, which is only the one for the whole book and not the specific page. In any event it was one of those small-publisher railroad histories, and the people who write them ... well, they do their homework on the rail history, but perhaps I should have known better than to assume they would know their road history.

Updating Grand Avenue Bridge section
The Grand Avenue Bridge section appears to be out of date. Since the activities described, a bridge connecting the I-70 West Glenwood Exit (Exit 114) to Midland Avenue was completed some time between 2002 and 2005 (Google Earth). This route is being used as a detour while Colorado DOT rebuilds the Grand Avenue Bridge.

 * Thanks for the info and the sources. When I get back from Wikimania I'll see what I can get done. Daniel Case (talk) 23:29, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
